mama told me i just gotta sit back and wait
watch the world as it spins
wait for it to slow down
take a deep breath and dive back in

dad just said to smell the roses
live for the sweet perfume
success and failure just don't matter
ecstasy and impending doom

i've never been one for fading softly
into the quiet night
my dreams are always pretty lofty
but sitting back just doesn't sit right

so i hopped into my car
with my notebook and guitar
wanted to go and see the world
give this living thing a whirl

but things keep spinning on and on
goin forth without me
somewhere in there i fell right off
but things just kept on rolling...

got to california
saw the sun set in the bay
took a deep breath looked up at the stars
watched my dreams fade off between orion's bars

ocean winds are cold enough
but life is colder still
growing up is not so hot
i think i feel like jumpin off...
